Abstract
Heritable Genome Editing: Technological Innovation for Future Perspectives in Healthcare
Highlights
An international panel of experts addressed the need to explore current capabilities of human genome editing and propose updated regulations that advocate for careful consideration over total prohibition (1)
The concept of gene editing that radiates beyond an individual in their lifetime to a whole future lineage has been a longstanding qualm for regulatory legislations and, as such, has considerable international variation (Figure 1) (1,2)
The mutations manifested into a lethal form of Leigh syndrome in all of her six naturally conceived children (3)
Summary
Public health benefit, and disability rights are nothing new to bioethical literature in this realm, though they have been left largely unexplored past the hypothetical. In February 2017, the United States National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and National Academy of Medicine (NAM) released a report titled “Human Genome Editing: Science, Ethics and Governance” that supports this notion.
